Does grass pollen cause your skin to itch? My son feels itchy outside even without touching grass.?

Question

His skin is more itchy if he is in grass. Thanks!

Answer 1

My son is also allergic to grass as well as many other outside allergens. The only way to know for sure is to have him allergy tested, it's not particularly pleasant and may even only be useful if your son reacts to many 'unknowns' as my son did. I found the best allergy medication was Zyrtec as it didn't make him drowsy and it's good for both indoor and outdoor allergens. If you don't want to put him on meds during summer season then you can always make him bathe and wash his hair after he's been out and if his skin itches use Tea Tree oil. Good luck!

Answer 2

Pollen
(Polen)

During the spring, summer, and fall, plants release pollen (a fine powder that is carried by the wind from plant to plant in order to fertilize them). Each microscopic grain of pollen contains proteins that can cause allergic reactions when breathed in. These proteins can trigger asthma symptoms. Grasses, trees, and weeds (such as ragweed) are most often responsible for causing allergies.

Answer 3

Have you ever had him tested for enviromental allegeries?

Could be from the grass, trees, just about anything growing outside.

Answer 4

Yup, grass pollen is one of the worst allergens out there.

Answer 5

because the clorryphill gets on u and makes you itch.. always take a bath or shower after rolling in the grass to make you feel better

Answer 6

. . .Sounds like your son is allergic to grass pollen. It doesn't have that effect on me, though.

Answer 7

It can, since it is in the air and can get on your skin. Time for some allergy medication and skin lotion.

Yeah. Take him to the doctor and do an allergy test.
